A concert in lighter, classical atmospheres. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, but also Prokofiev, who seamlessly fits in with them with his First Symphony, ‘the Classical’. The Dutch-Russian Daria van den Bercken has been on the rise the last few years. Her CDs featuring Händel, Scarlatti, and Mozart garnered high praise. ‘Musical affection and flawless virtuosity,’ Gramophone wrote. Her Scarlatti recording was nominated for an Edison Award. Today, a recital with piano and a small ensemble that brings orchestral colors back to an intimate chamber music format.
According to Mozart himself, his Piano Concerto in A, KV488, was his finest concert. Radiant are the outer movements, while the slow middle movement is the most poignant Adagio he ever wrote. Baroque virtuosity in Bach’s Fifth Brandenburg Concerto; the largest and most brilliant of the six, and essentially a piano concerto. With his Classical Symphony, Prokofiev wanted to explore how Haydn would have composed if he had lived in the 20th century. Clear like the classical masters but with some quirky notes and unexpected modulations, and seasoned throughout with that special Prokofiev touch. In his Romeo and Juliet, he reveals a more romantic side. It’s noteworthy that, as an opening, Daria van den Bercken performs a piano sonata by Haydn: Haydn’s piano music usually fades a bit between Mozart and Beethoven but is very lively and sparkling. With his Sonata in B minor, he strikes a slightly darker tone than usual.
After the concert, you will enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with a delicious treat. This is included with your ticket.
